Use a wooden spoon or potato masher to break the raw beef into very fine pieces. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Add the diced onion and garlic and simmer for about 10 minutes, continuing to break up the beef as it cooks. Stir in the tomato sauce, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, apple cider vinegar, chili powder, cumin, cinnamon, cocoa powder, paprika, allspice, cloves, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne, if using. Reduce the heat and gently simmer uncovered for 45–60 minutes, stirring occasionally. The chili will start fairly thin but will thicken as it reduces. Taste and adjust the salt and seasonings as needed. Spoon the chili over cooked spaghetti and top generously with finely shredded cheddar cheese. Cincinnati Chili “Ways” 2-Way: Spaghetti + chili 3-Way: Spaghetti + chili + cheddar cheese 4-Way: Spaghetti + chili + cheddar + diced onion OR kidney beans 5-Way: Spaghetti + chili + cheddar + diced onion + kidney beans https://www.themaddiemakes.com/recipes/north-dakota-lefse monthly 0.5 2026-10-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a1b8c867b4c9e42763b5196/28971b4e-2a18-4692-ab35-8edc3806d87b/Lefse+pic+r.jpg Recipes - North Dakota: Lefse - Make it stand out Yield: About 6 small lefse Ingredients 1 medium peeled Russet potatoes (225 g) 21 g (1 1/2 tablespoons) unsalted butter 15 g (1 tablespoon) 2% milk 1/4 teaspoon salt 60–75 g (about 1/2–2/3 cup) all-purpose flour, plus more for rolling For Serving Softened butter Cinnamon sugar, optional Instructions Peel the potatoes and cut them into chunks. Place in a saucepan, cover with water, and boil until completely fork-tender. Drain the potatoes thoroughly. Return them to the warm pot for 1–2 minutes to allow excess moisture to evaporate. While still hot, mash the potatoes until as smooth as possible. Add the butter and allow it to melt into the warm potatoes. Gently mix in the milk and salt. Allow the potato mixture to cool, then cover and refrigerate for at least 1–2 hours, or until completely cold. Once chilled, gently mix in 60 g of flour. If the dough is too sticky to handle, add additional flour about 5 g at a time. Avoid adding more flour than necessary. Divide the dough into approximately 35–45 g portions and form each into a ball. Keep the remaining dough refrigerated while you work. Generously flour a clean work surface and rolling pin. Roll each portion into a thin circle, approximately 7–9 inches wide. Roll as thinly as you comfortably can without tearing the dough. ****I sectioned out each portion with parchment squares. It makes transfer to the pan much easier**** Heat a large dry skillet or griddle over medium to medium-high heat. Do not add butter or oil. Carefully transfer one lefse to the hot skillet. Cook until bubbles form and brown spots appear on the underside, approximately 30–60 seconds. Flip and cook the second side until lightly spotted. Slightly thicker lefse may need additional cooking time. Transfer the cooked lefse to a clean kitchen towel and keep covered while you cook the remaining pieces. The trapped steam helps keep the lefse soft and pliable. Serve warm or at room temperature. For a sweet version, spread with softened butter, sprinkle with cinnamon sugar, and roll up. Notes You don't need a traditional lefse rolling pin, pastry cloth, or lefse griddle for this small batch. A regular rolling pin, well-floured work surface, and large skillet work just fine. Don't worry about achieving paper-thin lefse if the dough begins to tear. It's better to cook a slightly thicker lefse than to add excessive flour or tear the dough trying to make it thinner. For the softest lefse, keep the cooked pieces covered with a towel until you're ready to serve them. https://www.themaddiemakes.com/recipes/north-carolinapulled-pork-with-tomato-vinegar-bbq-sauce monthly 0.5 2026-10-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a1b8c867b4c9e42763b5196/c89c91c5-0ea2-47d6-a417-32bf1489926b/NC+BBQ+pork.jpg Recipes - North Carolina: Pulled Pork with Tomato-Vinegar BBQ Sauce - Make it stand out Ingredients 3–4 lb boneless pork shoulder or Boston butt 2 tsp kosher salt 1 tsp black pepper 1 tsp smoked paprika 1 tsp garlic powder 1 tsp onion powder 1 tbsp brown sugar ½ tsp cayenne, optional 1–2 tbsp neutral oil, for searing ½ cup chicken broth ¼ cup apple cider vinegar 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce Instructions Heat oven to 325°F. Cut the pork into 3–4 large chunks. Pat them dry with paper towels. Mix the salt, pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, brown sugar, and cayenne. Rub the seasoning generously over all sides of the pork. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with a little oil. Sear the pork in batches for about 2–3 minutes per side, until nicely browned. Transfer the pieces to a deep 9×13-inch baking pan. Pour the chicken broth, apple cider vinegar, and Worcestershire into the bottom of the pan. The liquid should surround the bottom of the pork but shouldn’t submerge it. Cover the pan tightly with foil and bake for about 2½–3½ hours, or until the pork is extremely tender and easily pulls apart with a fork. If you’re checking temperature, pork shoulder is usually ideal for shredding around 195–205°F. Let the pork rest for about 15–20 minutes, then shred it. Spoon some of the pan juices over the shredded meat to keep it moist. Tomato-Vinegar BBQ Sauce Ingredients ¾ cup apple cider vinegar ⅓ cup ketchup 1½ tbsp brown sugar 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce ½–1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes ½ tsp black pepper ½ tsp salt ½ tsp garlic powder, optional Instructions Add everything to a small saucepan and whisk together. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat and cook for about 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Taste and adjust. Add a little more brown sugar if it’s too sharp, or another splash of vinegar if you want more bite. The finished sauce should be thin enough to pour easily but noticeably thicker than straight vinegar sauce. Don’t reduce it until it’s syrupy—this isn’t supposed to have the consistency of a traditional bottled BBQ sauce. To Serve Pile the shredded pork onto a toasted bun and spoon plenty of the warm tomato-vinegar sauce over the top. Best served with coleslaw. https://www.themaddiemakes.com/recipes/colorado-chile-verde monthly 0.5 2026-09-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a1b8c867b4c9e42763b5196/ea13f1de-3e55-4771-bdcf-0b0c5afc7672/Chile+verde.jpg Recipes - Colorado: Chile Verde - Make it stand out This famous dish from Colorado consists of tender pieces of pork simmered in a roasted poblano, jalapeño and tomatillo sauce.

And the last thing most of us want to do is turn on an oven. For someone that loves cheesecake but did not want to turn on the oven, I went the no-bake route. I chose banana because my Southern side was inspired by banana pudding. I broke tradition of using vanilla wafers and used Biscoff cookies instead. Not to be bias, but I LOVE Biscoff cookies and had a feeling they would go really well with this cheesecake. And sure enough, they did! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a1b8c867b4c9e42763b5196/f6efa707-8f5a-4c0d-8263-175883a24cc6/Banana+chzcake+3%3A4.jpg Recipes - No-Bake Banana Biscoff Cheesecake -
